Only one-third (31%) of travellers from Asia Pacific (APAC) and around a quarter (27%) of Europeans touch base with their families while on the road.

CWT’s Connected Traveller Study has revealed half of business travellers from the Americas contact their families when on business trips, more than those from other regions. 

Only one-third (31%) of travellers from Asia Pacific (APAC) and around a quarter (27%) of Europeans touch base with their families while on the road.

Chinese business travellers are by far the most likely in Asia Pacific (47%) to stay connected with family while traveling. This may be key to good home relationships, the CWT report suggests.

Only 21% of Chinese travellers encountered problems with their home and personal relationships because of business travel – far less than travellers from other APAC countries (39%).

Of all APAC countries surveyed, Indian business travellers were by far the most likely (87%) to say the benefits of business travel outweigh negatives for building and maintaining relationships at home.

Some 28% of business travellers from India put more effort to stay connected with family while travelling, CWT found.
